Topics: Section 11.6 - Absolute Convergence and the Ratio and Root Tests
Instructions: Listen to your TA’s instructions. There are substantially more problems on this worksheet than we expect
to be done in discussion, and your TA might not have you do problems in order. The worksheets are intentionally longer
than will be covered in discussion in order to give students additional practice problems they may use to study. Do not
worry if you do not finish the worksheet :).
3. Give an example of a series that converges conditionally but does not converge absolutely.
4. Can you find an example of a series that converges absolutely but does not converge conditionally? Explain why,
5. Determine whether each of the following series converges absolutely, converges conditionally, or diverges.
